Thanks guys, Firstly, my apologies for the "Reply to All" issue. My fault I should have checked. Will try not to let it happen again. I have been using a pdf printer driver for years (using Primo PDF currently) but I was interested in the "editable pdf' feature when using Export as PDF from LO. I will try the possible solution of re-creating the config folder and see what happens. Once I have done this I will report back
